  • 2014 NSSE Report
    Lake Forest College NSSE 2014 Administered in Spring 2014 Report by S. Boyd Institutional Research 1 Introduction Lake Forest College administered the most recent iteration of the NSSE (National Survey of Student Engagement) in the spring of 2014. Previous surveys were given in 2007, 2008, and 2011. This iteration continues the College’s administration of the survey on a three year cycle. The results discussed here compare: • Lake Forest to the NSSE universe, and in particular those schools scoring in the top 10%. • Lake Forest compared to a comparison group of selected liberal arts colleges and universities who responded to the NSSE in 2013 and 2014. Generally, engagement indicator scores were very favorable for first-years and seniors. First-years compared well to the NSSE Top 10% group on 9 out of 10 indicators. Seniors compared well to the NSE Top 10% group on 2 out of 10 indicators. What is NSSE? NSSE is administered nationally. In 2014, 713 schools participated in the survey. Extract from the NSSE 2014 Overview: “The National Survey of Student Engagement collected information annually from first-year and senior students about the characteristics and quality of their undergraduate experience. Since the inception of the survey, nearly 1,500 bachelor’s-granting colleges and universities in the United States and Canada have used it to measure the extent to which students engage in effective educational practices that are empirically linked with learning, personal development, and other desired outcomes such as persistence, satisfaction, and graduation. NSSE data are used by faculty, administrators, research and others for institutional improvement, accountability, and related purposes.” The survey is administered over the Web to volunteers in the first year and senior class.

Despite their many 1543-592X/08/1201-0387$20.00 shapes and sizes, and the multitude of habitats within which they function, animal weapons share many properties: They evolve when males are able to defend spatially restricted critical resources, they are typically the most variable morphological structures of these species, and this variation hon- estly reflects among-individual differences in body size or quality. What is not clear is how, or why, these weapons diverge in form. The potential for male competition to drive rapid divergence in weapon morphology remains one of the most exciting and understudied topics in sexual selection research today. 3*7 INTRODUCTION Sexual selection is credited with the evolution of nature's most extravagant structures, and these include showy male adornments that are attractive to females (ornaments) and an arsenal of outgrowths that function in male-male combat (weapons) (Darwin 1871).

UECKERT Highlight: In field sleeve cage studies we found that con- in this country has been reviewed by Ueckert (1973). chuela [Chlorochroa ligata (Say)] reduced mesquite seed Since mesquite produces large quantities of seeds, it has production at least 70% at all population densities studied by been suggested that natural enemies which reduce viable seed sucking juices from immature seeds. The seed beetle Algarobius production may be significant factors in reducing the biotic prosopis LeConte reduced production of viable mesquite seeds potential and rate of ecesis of this noxious plant (Ueckert, at least 22% at the population densities studied by consuming, 1973). Swenson (1969) considered the leaf-footed bug Mozena during its larval stage, the seed cotyledons. A seasonal insect obtusa Uhler and the seed beetle Algarobius prosopis LeConte control program on mesquite revealed that the native insect as the insects most detrimental to seed production of populations generally reduced I) the numbers of mesquite pods produced per tree, 2) the total numbers of seeds per pod, mesquite. Ueckert (1973) reported that leaf-footed bugs and 3) the percentage of good seeds. reduced viable seed production from 65% in a control to 4.3% at a population density of four per pod. Werner and Butler (unpublished report) found western flower thrips [Franklinelk Honey mesquite [Prosopis glandulosa Torr . var. glandulosa] occidentalis (Pergande)] to be abundant on mesquite flowers occurs on 56.2 million acres in Texas (Smith and Rechenthin, in Arizona. Glendening and Paulsen (1955) considered the 1964) restricting livestock movement in the dense stands and huisache girdler [Oncideres putator Thomson] to be detri- reducing productivity where preferred plants must compete mental to seed production because it girdled small pod- for moisture, light, and space.
